Very cool! I think the paper will help me understand more deeply problems with the notation I've fought with many times! However, I'm a bit disappointed that the notion of partial vs. full derivative wasn't raised, which I think is very relevant to the question...
Better stats than the linked paper. But you are right - I thought only full rejections were counted, but it seems full or part rejections were, so the number for 2017 should indeed by 76. In any case, it is pretty obvious that 2016,2017 are different from 2010-2014 in the fraction rejected - even if this difference is tiny.
One amazing thing about the report is how widespread this is. These companies do not collaborate in non-implementation of patches and lying about it. They probably invented this way of cheating the customer independently.
With the tiny addition that in the same model apple admitted a manufacturing defect in the battery for a range of serial numbers, and initiated a replacement program - not for all phones, just for that range.
It couldn't have anything to do with that defect, right?
How would that have helped? In a democratic society you can reverse whatever you want. Obama passed healthcare with a law, and that is on its way to being dismantled. It is only a question of how complicated it is to reverse the steps. Give congress and the president enough power, and they can ruin anything they want.
The slashdot link is really useless. Further rant: I really hate sites that highlight a word/organisation/site and then when you click on that link will show all articles on that subject in their own site (Looking at you, engadget! )That's what bloomberg seems to do. Here's the original link https://public.wmo.int/en/medi... and the actual bulletin:
How stupid can companies be? Stop sending e-mails with links to update, because scammers can do exactly the same!!! By doing this again and again, companies are getting users used to clicking on e-mail links to update software, which I think today is (one of?) the main vectors for malware (see DNC hack...). STOP IT! PLEASE!
The energy could be released through a thousand small quakes, or a big one. Just like you can "trigger" the release of the energy stored in a balloon with a pin or by slowly releasing the stored air. Or that throwing stones just triggered the release of energy stored in glass walls that would have been released anyway on the way to equilibrium.
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
I have the 12" macbook, and am quite happy. I think this is a step forward for apple, not backward. Apple always had non-standard connectors - thunderbolt, lightning, displayport, even magsafe (which is great). They were first to drop the floppy, and among the first to drop CD ROM. Thus, for a few years, it was really hard to get a good and fast hard drive that worked well with thunderbolt. Finally, they go with the standard! It is true that for now you need adapters - USB 3.0 to C are quite cheap and small, but devices that are USB-C are starting to come out. It is really great to get to the office and just plug one cable in, for power, monitor, hard disk, etc. etc.
You know, there is this thing called a price curve. At $0.99 you sell 10,000 copies of your cool game, at $0.79 you sell 20,000 copies, or maybe only 5,000. The price of a game does effect how many copies you sell, so just blindly assuming that developers "take a hit on their profit" because the price goes down to $0.79 is a very simplistic view.
That is not true. It is equivalent to labelling "dolphin free tuna", or "made in the USA", or "not produced in sweatshops". It doesn't say much about the health consequences of the item, but a lot about how it was produced.

You mean offline.
Nothing happened to any particular location.
I care.

I used https://www.documentcloud.org/... for the data for 2017.
It could have to do with changed rules under the "USA freedom act" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... , June 2, 2015.

They have an app to test phones. I just checked mine. Could be that results are sent back home.
It is easy to provide an update if you don't fix much...

If it wasn't clear, I meant to say that microsoft sent out an email to users to update skype...

There was a copyright on a gene in one of those puppies.
actually it is called a demand curve.... :\

Best buy usually have very cheap android tablets for around $40.
